A Little Rejoicing.

The very few friends and supporters of
Gov. McEnery of this place had a little
rejoicing last Saturday, as by some mis-
understanding, :he Nichols club was
not permanently organized, they thought
it was a complete failure, but they were
not aware that temporary organization
was effected, and when the organization
and the proceedings-which appear in
another column, the names of the men,
bers of the club made known, they saw
it was not bluffing affair; but an orga-
nizatiOn composed of representative men
of this parish.
The glowing features of their faces
gave place to gloomy ones, and their
joy is getting to be exceedingly thin.
Poor friends!

Iberia, St. Martin, Abbeville

For some time past the question of
removing the head of st Martins Branch
line from Cade station to New Iberia
has been agitated. 1t would indeed be
! a very wise move and really we fail
to see how the Railroad company could
be so blind as to put it where it now is.
However it is a mistake and such will
sometime happen to the wisest.
Now we also would like to know If
there is no possibility of pushing the
road to Abbeville and beyond using the
Salt Island branch as part of said line.
1t would pay the company the section
and our town.
Let us move head!-Louisiana Far
mer.
1t would pay the company 1--WE doubt)
the section and our town New Iberia
we doubt nOt) but st. Martinsville, what
would be her interests in this case? Our
friends of New Iberia are very kind, they
look at their interests first of all, and do
not care about their neighbors. The
people of this section, with the excep-
ton of our friend of the Reveille and
two or three citizens, are opposed to this
scheme.
We believe it would to the interests of
this section and the Railroad company
to extend this branch from here to
Breaux Bridge and Arnaudville, and
from Cades direct to Abbeville, as that
section between Cades and Abbeville is
thickly settled by Industrious and pro-
gressive planters, who have no cOmmu-
nicatiOn facilities.
This road would help to develope the
wealthy resources of Vermilion parish,
increase the trade, and would pay
handsome return to the Railroad Com
pany.

Too Honest.

We are informed that some citizens OF
this parish, who naturally favor the can
didacy of Gov. McEnery, had the cou-
rage,-yes, the courage to give as their
reason that Gen. Nichols is too honest
to be Governor, for if Republicans and
negroes are returned elected he will COM
mission them according to law. Oh De-
vine Providence have pity upon the souls
of these unfortunate wretches, who favor
fraud, and have not the energy and cou-
rage to steal for themselves, but rely
upon the Governor - these men are
doomed!
Governor McEnery has commissioned
Al. Wakefield as clerk of court of Ibe.
ria, who was returned elected by the
Returning officer and has commissioned
In this town, as trustees, three colored
men who were also returned elected BY
the Returning Officer, and we give cre-
dit to Gov. McEnery for having executed
the law by commissioning the officers
who were duly returned elected whether
white or black, democrats or republi-
cans.

Confirmation.

The sacrement of confirmation was
administered in our sister town of Breaux
Bridge, by Bishop Fitzgerald, Thursday
the 18th. inst, to twelve hundred persons.
We are informed by a gentleman of
that town, who had two children who
confirmed, that father GOnnelas charged
and exacted the sum of twenty five cents
for every confirmation. This is surely
the first time we heard of such a charge
against priest, and we earnestly hope
that the ecclesiastical authorities will as
soon as practicable, investigate this mat
ter, and other serious charges brought
against the same priest.

Will A. Strong Gully.

The jury in the case iof the State VS..
ex-Secretary of State Will A. Strong,
charged with embezzling s4.4lO.lO of
the State funds, brought in a verdict of
guilty. This case was tried at Baton

was genuine surprise to the people, and
has nearly prostrated Mr.. Strong.
A new trial will be asked by his coun-
sells and in case of refusal, will appeal
to the Supreme Court.

Can men who have any respect for
themselves and civilization denounce

No! no, these men are corruption them

Useful and Hurtful Medicines.

There is a certain class of remedies for
constipation absolutely useless. These
are boluses and pOtiOns made in great
part of pOdophyllin, aloes, rhubarb, gam
boge and other worthless ingredients.
The damage they do to the stomachs of
those who use them is incalculabIe.
They evacuate the bowels, it is true, but
always do so violently and prOfusely, and
besides gripe the bowels. Their effect is
to weaken both them and the stomach.
Better far to use the agreeable and salu-
tary apsrient, Hostetter er'sIStomach Bitters
the laxative effect Of which is never pre-
ceded by pain or accompanied by con-
vulsive violent action of the bowels. On
the contrary, it invigorates those organs
the stomach and the.entire system. As a
means of curing and preventing malarial
fevers, no medicines can compare with it
and it remedies nervous debility, rheu-
matism, kidney and bladder inactivity
and other inorganic ailments.
